Building a good trust score with google is also important to keep a good score with them making your site more trustworthy.

Plugins You Must Have

Install these two plugins if you do not have them already. The first one is called ActiveCampaign, the second one I am hoping you’re using is the WPforms but you will need to upgrade to the Elite Package to use these features together. But again it is well worth the investment!

Integrations

You can refer to my other tutorial on installing WPForms to get started. You can then start to install the ActiveCampaign plugin. Once installed and you have set up you’re account go to your settings/ActiveCampaign.

Once the installation is complete, you’ll need to configure the WordPress plugin settings by supplying your ActiveCampaign API URL and Key, as well as selecting which forms you want to make available for use on your WordPress site.

In the steps below, we’ll show you where you can access your ActiveCampaign API information to add to WordPress via WPForms and show you how to make your forms available for use on your site.

Introduction to using the ActiveCampaign

Sign up for a free account for 14 days to see if you like the program. After signing up you will need to enter all your information before moving forward.

Getting Started With ActiveCampaign

After you have entered all your website information you can now move on to integration. Remember you will have to enter a physical address required by US law Called the CAN-SPAM Act. This act sets the rules for sending any or all commercial emails. In Canada, you can read Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) with similar restrictions.

1. From your ActiveCampaign account, click “Settings” located in the lower left of the application. You can include your address under Addresses in this section as well. But remember this address will be sent to alls you send through ActiveCampaign. It is great if you do have a physical location where you conduct your business.

2. Click Developer – in the left-hand sidebar.

3. Under the API Access section heading, you’ll see your API URL and key. Copy your API URL by clicking it and pressing Control + C on your keyboard. Paste the URL into your WordPress site then do the same for your API key.

API stands for Application Processing Interface. This allows WPForms and ActiveCampaign to integrate and pass the information back and forth to one another.

4. Click the Connect button in WordPress.

5. Select which forms should cache locally on your site by clicking the checkbox next to them. Selecting forms here means you’ll be able to insert them into your WordPress posts and pages. This step is required if you want to use WPforms on your WordPress site with ActiveCampaign.

6. When finished, click the Update Settings button.

7. Enable site tracking on your website, this will allow you to track visits. If you enable the conversations to feature you can use a chat widget on your website. There are two different tracking settings:

Track by default: This setting will track page visits, IP addresses without consent. The page visits and IP addresses are considered to be personal data. So you can update your privacy policies on your website.

Don’t track by default, this requires contacts to confirm by consent in order to use this tracking feature.

f you’d like to disable site tracking, click the Enable site tracking toggle to its “Off” position.

This option will appear on the ActiveCampaign settings page in WordPress if you have at least one form in your ActiveCampaign account. Your dashboard will look something like this when reviewing the site tracking.
